Syncing projects
Requires Sync projects in App settings. The toggle is off by default — turn it on only if you use Fortnox projects and want them in HubSpot.
- Creates and updates HubSpot Projects from Fortnox projects on each scheduled run.
- Existing projects are matched by
fortnox_project_numberon the HubSpot project. - Links HubSpot companies when Fortnox customers have this project as their default
Customer.Projectand a matching HubSpot company exists (fortnox_id).
Prerequisites
- HubSpot Projects must be enabled in your portal’s data model (Super Admin).
- Re-authenticate both HubSpot and Fortnox under the Connection tab after this feature is available:
- HubSpot —
crm.objects.projects.read,crm.objects.projects.write,crm.schemas.projects.read - Fortnox —
project
- HubSpot —
- Until re-auth completes, Sync projects stays disabled and lists missing scopes in app settings.
Field mappings
| Field HubSpot (Project) | Direction | Field Fortnox | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project: fortnox_project_number | <- | ProjectNumber | Match key for create/update |
| Project: hs_name | <- | Description | Fortnox Description is required and max 50 characters |
| Project: hs_description | <- | Comments | |
| Project: fortnox_start_date | <- | StartDate | Custom date property |
| Project: hs_target_due_date | <- | EndDate | HubSpot target due date |
| Project: fortnox_project_status | <- | Status | NOTSTARTED, ONGOING, or COMPLETED (stored as text) |
| Project: fortnox_project_leader | <- | ProjectLeader | Synced as text only — not mapped to hubspot_owner_id |
| Project: hs_pipeline / hs_pipeline_stage | <- | Status | On create, stage is chosen from the portal’s default HubSpot project pipeline using Fortnox status (see below) |
Pipeline stages on create
When a HubSpot project is created from Fortnox, the app uses your portal’s default HubSpot project pipeline and maps Fortnox Status to a stage:
NOTSTARTED→ configured not started stage (or default first stage)ONGOING→ configured ongoing stageCOMPLETED→ configured completed stage
Updates to existing HubSpot projects change properties only — pipeline stage is not moved on every sync unless you change it manually in HubSpot.
Company associations
Fortnox GET /3/projects does not document a customer field. If your Fortnox tenant returns CustomerNumber (or Customers) on the project payload, the app links matching HubSpot companies by fortnox_id. Otherwise company linking is skipped — associate manually in HubSpot.
- Only adds missing project → company links; manual associations are not removed.
- If no Fortnox customer has this project as default, no company association is attempted.
Invoice project linking
When Sync projects and Fortnox invoice to HubSpot are both enabled, invoice import also links records to HubSpot projects when Fortnox sets Invoice.Project to a project number that already exists in HubSpot (matched on fortnox_project_number):
- Deal import — the imported deal is associated with the HubSpot project.
- HubSpot Invoice import — the HubSpot Invoice record is associated with the project directly.
- If
Invoice.Projectis cleared or changed in Fortnox, the next invoice sync updates HubSpot associations accordingly.
Sync projects first (or re-run invoice import after projects exist) so associations can be created. See also Syncing invoices and Release notes (July 13, 2026).
Not included
- HubSpot → Fortnox project create (Fortnox projects are imported only).
- Contact associations on the HubSpot project.
- Budget or bi-directional name sync — Fortnox
Descriptionis the canonical name on import.
